Sometimes you want to scare the living piss out of your roommate.

The weird looking ones are just about the only ones I've ever seen for sale

I see mostly polycoat 75bs, some nickle, and some 85 combats, which is cool, since the 85 has no stupid mag disconnect safety.

Picatinny and bulging accessory rails(pistols) on every new weapon....

I think it looks messy/clunky/dumb, especially if you don't intend on putting any costly accessories on your gun.

Without the rails is looks cleaner and more streamlined IMO

Cammo patterns on shotguns, rifles, handguns, slingshots, pocketknives. How in the world did my poor old grandfather manage to bring home any game when he was growing up in the 1930's without any tacti-cool cammo shotguns? All he had was a blued-steel Remington Model 10. Poor old grandpa. It's a good thing he didn't starve before he made my dad or I wouldn't be here now.

I love the Remington Model 10, your Grandpa had good taste. : )

Blasphemy! I think two-tone guns look nice, especially SIGs. Someday, I want another 226 in two-tone.

Or at least, I think the combination of a black frame and nickel slide looks nice. I'm not so much a fan of the current trend we see in polymer pistols (black slides with tan- or camo-colored frames).

An M4 stock on an RPG? I don't think so. If you extended it out to full length and tried to fire it that way, you'd be just in front of the back blast.

And it must look hideously awkward just holding it that way... :D

Maybe I was just fascinated with the idea of mounting an EOTech on an RPG. Wonder why no one's actually tried that yet...

In some countries, the EOTech is more expensive than the launcher.

You have to give them credit for using off the shelf parts.
